How well Skidder holds snow

Snow preservationAverage

Facing northeast at an average 6°, Skidder gets about 85% of the winter sun that flat ground at Snowshoe Mountain does, December through March. That's sunnier than 52% of the runs we've measured, and the 37th sunniest named run at Snowshoe Mountain. Its top sits at 4,750 feet.

It gets an ordinary dose of sun: powder lasts a typical amount of time, and spring snow softens on a normal schedule. Shading from ridges and trees isn't counted yet.
